Noom's place is very nice and clean. It is on the 16th floor, so you can enjoy view over the city. Noom was very communicative though I haven't met him in person. He sent a friend who doesn't speak English for the check in, but that was a minor issue. There is a lot of food stalls around the area and very close to metro. Also buses go directly to the city, but it is quite a long journey. Depends on traffic it can take almost an hour, but are cheaper then metro. 19 BHT for bus, 57 BHT for metro to Siam, but then you have to take another bus or taxi to the old city.
